Copyright information is wrong in some GHC source files

I noticed with some amusement that the copyright in some of the GHC library files is wrong. It claims the copyright belongs to the University of Glasgow, but it doesn't (at least not for all the code). I know, because I wrote the original code. And copyright law states that the author holds the copyright even if the work does not contain a copyright notice. An example of such a file is libraries/base/GHC/Float.lhs.

I don't really care if this is fixed our not; I'm happy to share the code, but a line of attribution doesn't seem like an outrageous request.
